ISO 9001 Resources required for implementation

There is no mandatory requirement for the existence of a QMS manager.

However, during the implementation of the QMS it is important to have a Project Manager to conduct the project. If it is a full-time job or not depends on the investment in training and the ability to develop teamwork. Theoretically, it is not needed to have a QMS manager developing a Quality Control Plan if you have a team in your company that assumes the job: for example the warehouse responsible, the shift managers and one or two operators can design, request approval, train and implement the use of that Quality Control Plan.
